Hot, humid Saturday with slight storm chances

IT’S 547 NOW ON YOUR SATURDAY, AND METEOROLOGIST CAITLIN HARVEY IS HERE WITH ANOTHER CHECK OF THAT SATURDAY FORECAST. WE TALKED ABOUT VISIBILITY A LITTLE BIT. YOU SAID IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE FAR OUT IN THE DISTANCE, RIGHT. VISIBILITY RIGHT NOW FOR EASTERN NEBRASKA. WESTERN IOWA NOT HORRIBLE. BUT YOU ARE NOTICING ALREADY SOME OF THAT HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. LET’S START WITH A LIVE LOOK HERE ACROSS THE METRO. WE’LL CHECK IN WITH THAT VISIBILITY WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE SKYCAM NETWORK LOOKING DOWNTOWN. YEAH, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT MOISTURE JUST IN THE AIR. NO RAIN SHOWERS, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOT, HUMID DAY. WEST OMAHA SETTING UP FOR A PRETTY SUNRISE AS WELL AS COUNCIL BLUFFS LOOKING DOWN TOWARD DOWNTOWN AND LA VISTA FROM EMBASSY SUITES. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DEW. HEADS UP IF YOU’RE DRIVING I-80 GILES STILL CLOSED IN THAT TRAFFIC IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE HERE THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES ARE VERY WARM, MID 60S TO THE LOWER 70S FOR THE METRO 66 RIGHT NOW. COUNCIL BLUFFS LIVE SUPER DOPPLER THOUGH STILL GETTING A BIT OF INTERFERENCE OUT INTO LANCASTER SEWARD SALINE GAGE COUNTIES. THAT’S JUST WITH SOME OF THE HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. NONE OF THIS REACHING THE GROUND. OF COURSE, A FEW CLOUDS OUT TO THE WEST, BUT WE’LL KEEP THINGS MOSTLY SUNNY TODAY. OMAHA FREEDOM FESTIVAL AT MALCOLM X BIRTH SITE THAT’S IN NORTH OMAHA, STARTS TODAY, 10 A.M., WITH A PARADE GOING THROUGH MIDNIGHT WITH CONCERTS. LOTS OF STUFF TO DO HERE TODAY. WARM AND MUGGY THOUGH BY 10:00 ALREADY 80 4:00 91. FEELING LIKE 93 WITH THAT 20% CHANCE OF STORMS HERE LATER THIS AFTERNOON, EVENING AND EVEN INTO TONIGHT. BUT MOST OF US STAYING DRY 91 FOR YOUR SATURDAY COLUMBUS TEKAMAH OMAHA 90 TODAY. SHENANDOAH FALLS CITY 93 THIS AFTERNOON IN LINCOLN. OUR HEAT INDICES FEELING LIKE THE MID 90S HERE AT TIMES. STORM PREDICTOR AS WE HEAD INTO THE START OF YOUR WEEKEND. A COUPLE CLOUDS BUT MOSTLY SUNNY THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. STILL LOOKING DRY FOR GAME THREE AT CHARLES SCHWAB FIELD AT 1 P.M. AND HEADING ON INTO 6 P.M. GAME FOUR HERE AT SECOND GAME OF THE DAY. A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A STRAY SHOWER, BUT THIS FORECAST MODEL PRIMARILY KEEPING THAT CLOSER INTO CENTRAL IOWA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A STRAY SHOWER OR STORM. THIS FORECAST MODEL A LITTLE BIT MORE BULLISH ON THIS. AND AGAIN, FOR YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT’S LOOKING FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP HERE THIS AFTERNOON EVENING COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LIKEWISE FOR YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON, NEARLY ALL OF THE VIEWING AREA, SEEING THAT MARGINAL RISK FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM. BUT TRULY LOOKING AT MONDAY ON INTO TUESDAY, THAT’S WHERE WE’LL SEE OUR INCREASING CHANCES FOR STRONG, EVEN SEVERE STORMS. I SAY ESPECIALLY TUESDAY IMPACT WEATHER FOR YOUR FATHER’S DAY, THOUGH NOT A WASHOUT. STILL GIRL WITH DAD. TEMPERATURES STAYING TOASTY WITH A BRIEF COOLDOWN. THERE. WEDNESDAY. STILL LOOKING HOT AS WE HE
